Johann, with over 20 years of experience training thousands, shares his candid thoughts on the pitfalls of rigid diet cultures and the benefits of a more adaptable approach.
He uses humour and personal anecdotes to highlight how people often cling to specific diets like tribes, but stresses that nutrition is a science that should cater to individual needs rather than group identities. Johann's engaging storytelling brings to life the idea that while tribes can offer a sense of belonging, they can also create unnecessary divisions.
